Hello!
I am trying to link my Guitar Rig 5 to Magix Music Maker, but I am not able.
I have placed the .dll in what I think that is the correct folder. Then I go to the plug-in menu, I select the .dll file by clicking in the "all files" option, but after a while, I get this error message telling me that there is a problem in the reading of the file, and that "it should be: 4, but is: 0"
Could you please help with this issue?
Thanks in advance for your help!
You are doing something wrong. Here is how I load Guitar Rig in Music Maker:
1. I click on the yellow FX button and select "Audio FX Rack track..."
2. In the FX Rack I click on "+" and then select "VST FX" and select my Guitar Rig plugin.
Just be sure that the dll is in the folder you selected in the progam settings.
Thanks man!
I've tried to follow your instructions, but I unfortunately I am still not able to do it (I am a total disaster with computers...)
When I reach your second step, I don't have the "VST FX" option, I only have "MAGIX Plug-ins"
I click in that, but it does not find the Guitar Rig. I have place the dll file in the route that I have selected in the preferences, and also in other folders that I think that could be the right ones, but is worthless (I don't know if I need to throw my computer through the window, or just myself... :-(
Thanks again for your help!!!
Maybe you need a restart and log out and back into Music Maker.
Here are the steps. Check if you did it the same way.
Has your Version of Music Maker VST support activated?
You need to install the Creative Suite DLC from the shop.
Then you need to go to the program settings and locate the folder with your Guitar Rig dll with the help of the "Add VST-plugin path..." button:
Just to add a little more to what @SP. wrote: exactly which variant of MM do you have? If you have only the Free version it does not support the use of any external VSTs. Hence the advice that you need to buy and add the Creative Suite.
A better alternative is to actually upgrade to the Plus or Premium versions, which have a lot of "extras", including the Creative Suite, as "standard".
HTH

Thank you all @SP. and @emmrecs
I have the Plus version, so I also have the VST support activated (and purchased).
Obviously, I have made something wrong, probably with the location of the .dll file, or something related to the guitar rig installation, but I am not able to figure out what.
Here you have the screenshot of the error that appears (sorry, it is in Spanish)
Thanks again to both of you!

Thank you for the additional information.
What is the exact location of the Guitar Rig .dll file on your computer? What location did you enter (on the 2nd screenshot that @SP. shows) for the VST directory? It should be the same as that for the .dll file.
Your screenshot is very small and difficult to read but thank you for posting it and trying to help us to help you!

Do you plan to install other VST plugins in the future? Please put dlls in a separate folder, not in the Music Maker folder.
I install my dlls in a folder called C:\VST64 for 64 bit plugins and C:\VST32 for 32 bit plugins. Music Maker can only use 32 bit plugins, so I select C:\VST32 as the VST plugin-path in my program settings. When you install Guitar Rig, it also installs a 32 bit version. Be sure you use the path with the 32 bit-version of the Guitar Rig dll.
If this doesn't help maybe try reinstalling Guitar Rig and take a notice, where the installer will install the dll files. Then you open the program settings in Music Maker and select the folder the Guitar Rig installer used.
I finally made it!! (thanks to your comments, of course!!)
I have deleted and re-installed Guitar Rig and re-direct the path again to the .dll folder, and this time it works and MMM recognizes the file.
I don't know why, but the problem is apparently solved!!
Thank you very much both of you for your help and support!!!!
